oh my. okay, first i will mention the time a very nice, very worried-looking, very respectable middle-aged middle eastern man accosted me in the pan-asian supermarket and said 'please, do you know what part of the animal is this word?' and of course i read the label on the styropak thing he was showing to me and of course it said 'beef pizzle'.
and of course i chickened out. i felt bad about not being more helpful because honestly, most of the time i will go out of my way for newer canadians. but not this time; i could not.
then i'll just . . . . leave this here. because this is what the post-encounter googling brought me straight to.
you're all welcome.

I'm more baffled by chicken feet and pigs feet...why would anyone want to eat feet, and what the heck is there even to eat on a chickens foot???
Pigs feet date back to slavery in the south when the owners would give the slaves the parts of the animal they wouldn't eat themselves.
A culture of cooking evolved around preparing these things for consumption and still exists today.
and Chitterlings
Are you talkin about my pork rinds???
Chitterlings are intestines. Pork rinds are fried pig skin. Maybe you're thinking crackling.
Yup...you would be right! Anything that poop is encased in is disgusting!
How would someone in history ever look at intestines filled with poo and say....wow that looks yummy2 -

You do know what the words 'natural casing' on packages of bratwursts, Italian sausages, Frankfurters, breakfast links, etc means right? You never eat any of those? Ever? It would make me so sad to never have a bratwurst again.1 -

Because that was all the slaves were ALLOWED. They had no choice but to eat that and field greens to survive. One does what one must to live. Then it is passed down and down generations.6 -

I love liquor filled candy. I get the really strong ones sent to me from friends in Europe. It's like a shot of vodka right down the gullet1

Carrot cake with raisins and heaps of cream cheese icing... heaven! Even my husband who claims "it's not desert if it's not chocolate" has seen the light and loves it as much or more than me.
But keep the nasty walnuts out of it. Nuts in baked goods is... no.2 -

Mmm, ketchup! I don't eat it very often anymore, but that's mostly because it benefits so much from a big heap of fried potatoes underneath, as a sort of condiment for the ketchup. Other sides for the ketchup are just not the same.
When one of our previous US administrations wanted to count it a vegetable (in school lunches), I was against it on principle, but it would totally work for me.
But I went to a school where gravy was literally a school lunch entree (hamburger gravy, pork gravy, turkey gravy, etc. - a few small crumbles or shreds of meat, atop a big heap of instant mashed potatoes . . .
. . . y'know, speaking of foods that have no reason to exist (as an entrée, anyway)). Also, there was lettuce shreds with vinaigrette and pastel mini-marshmallows: Salad.
But I digress.1 -

Raisins in my carrot cake? No thanks.
Nuts? I usually detest them in cakes/brownies - but in carrot cake is fine. Just not too many of them.0 -
